About the Show

For Jesus Christ Superstar fans who grew up listening to the rock opera’s original brown album, Yvonne Elliman will forever be the voice of Mary Magdalene. After all, Elliman sang the part on the original concept album, on Broadway and in the film, and she earned her first hit single in 1971 with the show’s ballad “I Don’t Know How to Love Him.” So the cast of the current Broadway revival was understandably delighted when this Superstar original stopped by the Neil Simon Theatre on June 27 to see them in action. Elliman chatted with current Mary Magdalene Chilina Kennedy, co-stars Paul Nolan and Josh Young and of course, signed copies of the original Superstar record. Check out our photos below!
